Historic Nashville Easements is Nashville’s dedicated preservation easement steward, continuing the legacy of Historic Nashville, Inc. as part of the Preserve Nashville family. As the easement-focused subsidiary, it safeguards the façades and defining features of significant historic properties through permanent legal protections, ensuring these places remain part of Nashville’s story even as the city grows and changes.

​

Working alongside Preserve Nashville’s broader advocacy and education efforts, Historic Nashville Easements helps make preservation a practical, forward-looking tool rather than a barrier to progress. Guided by shared values of open collaboration, forward focus, civic stewardship, proactive strategy, and principled accountability, it partners with property owners, community leaders, and public agencies to protect historic places in ways that also support viable, long-term use.
